Elizabethan Quote Collage

I previously uploaded a post titled 'Elizabethan Quote'. The pictures from this post as well as some key words from the quote, (‘fire’, ‘heat’, ‘sun’, ‘red’ and ‘golden’) inspired me to create my own design. This is my collage, interpreting the quote. 



As you can see, I was particularly inspired by the word ‘fire’, envisioning the hair as flames. I used ribbon in my collage as I find the movement of ribbon reflects the movement of fire. My colour palette is definitely red, orange and yellow and I used cardboard pieces in these colours to replicate this.

The hair style I have created here would be up and off the face, styled into peaks. Lots of back-combing and hairspray would be required to maintain a firm structure. I’d use coloured hairspray to get the ascending colours of red to yellow.
